Notas del episodio

Thomas Field Jr. reconstructs the untold story of USAID’s first years in Bolivia, including the 1964 military coup d’état. Field demonstrates that Bolivia’s turn toward an anti-communist, development-oriented dictatorship was the logical and practical culmination of the military-led modernization paradigm that provided the liberal underpinnings of Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress.
